Be aware of skimmers

They are getting really hard to spot. They use to be fairly obvious and they had a camera pointing over the key pad to record pass codes. These were easily defeated by simply covering the key pad when typing in your PIN. These new ones are way more sophisticated.This is why I use credit cards, as opposed to bank or ATM cards, for all electronic payments. If they get my numbers and PINs they are only stealing from the credit card companies and not me. Credit card companies don’t care if they are victims so neither do I as long as they replace my card by the next day. There’s not even a reason to report it to the police, they don’t care either, nor should they, since the credit card companies (the victim) don’t care and could care less about prosecuting.

So far, they are not a huge problem up here. 🤞

All good advice,most stations near me give you 10 cents a gallon cheaper for cash.2 of my favorite restaurants have gone back to cash only too.Most local bars hamburger taco places etc charge 3% more for cards.Not sure what is going on but cash is king again in my area.
